I am thankful he came out for the team and I look forward to seeing his success in everything he participates in."
Jack, we can't wait to see where this takes you! Keep up the good work! #TheBulldogWay
This week is National School Psychology Week (NSPW) to highlight the important work school psychologists and other educators do to help all students thrive. This year's theme is "Let's Grow Together," inspired by the importance of both personal and shared strengths in our growth as individuals and school communities in every season of life. The theme recognizes every aspect of growth, as fundamental to effective learning environments and to school psychologists' role in supporting student well-being and learning.
We are blessed at IMS to have one of the best school psychologists on staff at IMS! Thank You Kelsey Tronsgard-Ellison for all you do for our staff and students!
